I actually like that the Jets are looking at defensive-minded coaches in that this is the current team's overall strength and rebuilding the offense is something he can recruit astute talent on-field and on the sidelines to HELP do; much of the attention needs to be directed there as opposed to the defense at this point. Hopefully the Jets are looking at coaches whose overall strength at managing the entire team overrides their subset experience with offense or defense. Basically, Rex, but Not Rex; potentially good or great coach with a mind for the entire game and not channel-locked onto one side of he ball and mismanaging clock situations that everyone will run through walls for without being pampered first. I understand the Woody-As-A-Liability meme, but up until now we're only speculating as Woody-Casserly-Wolf have said nothing and done much. Just shut the hell up and do your job is a actually good approach to their situation.

Another 4-3 DC. My only issue with his 4-3, as opposed to Quinn's, is the Jets don't have a Luke Kuechly on the roster. I have no way of evaluating how dependent his schemes are on the dominant play of an MLB. Other than that, Carolina has had a very good defense for a few seasons now and had to deal with the Hardy situation and a suspect secondary.

Find the timing, not the choices, a little curious. Is Woody hedging his bet on Quinn with Bowles and McDermott? Just in case things go south with Quinn or he opts for maybe the 49ers or Bears between now and the time we can seal the deal with him? Or is Bowles or McDermott more to Maccagnan's liking?

@hazard2012 I'm guessing a combination... Maccagnan probably likes Quinn just fine but now that he is the GM, he probably wants to kick the tires on some other people he likes... because it's his choice, and because Quinnn is no lock.

@Brendan@bharper42 so what that doesn't automatically put you on a list to be HC. i'd take marrone over him and i don't even like marrone. this is why i wanted seattle to lose so we can just sign quinn and get it over with.

@levi 57 has argued with me many times about Wilson not being that good. I'm not even doing an "I told you so" to be a dck, I honestly want to know if Wilson's recent run (during which he's played near-perfect football) has swayed his opinion at all.

Since the merger, amongst all QBs who have thrown at least 100 pass attempts, Russell Wilson's career 109.6 passer rating is the second best in NFL history (behind only the coked-out acid trip of Jeff Hostetler, 1990-1993).

@Brendan@bharper42 what research do i need. Carolina is bad, never the top unit, how many wins did his unit deliver, and when did they stop or dominate great qbs/offenses. I think he's average. If they want to interview him fine they should do their DD.

And so what if i said i don't want him. how did that make you feel? Deep breaths deep breaths and take your mind to a happy place.

@Brendan@bharper42 top 10 doesn't mean it's the top unit ala seattle. yes i want to do this. you've proven nothing i said wrong. If you want him fine. even marrone is better imo. and what happened in 2013? nothing. quinn and bowles units have carried the team when it needed it. I don't see anything that stands out with this unit. yet you're satisfied because of some numbers.

my facts are what you're saying they are a top 10 unit but not the top, a 7-9 team in a bad division, a good not great d. sorry average in my book.
